How a narrative can be constructed? How our imagination can give new life to what might appear to others as just everyday disposable objects through real or invented histories? What value can we find in the things which other people think have none? How can we combine these with other, perhaps precious materials? How can we use the concept of recycling, upcycling, and repurposing?
We will allow these questions to guide us during the masterclass.
By the end of the Masterclass, participants should feel confident in their individual abilities to initiate ideas, develop narrative themes, and translate the ideas into items of jewellery or small objects which can tell their own stories and engage an interested audience.
